this is not the obama administration, clinton administration. i think it is unfortunate because what the united states stands for is in line with what the arab revolution have been publicly espousing. i think that we have done, and i take responsibility with the government and congress and perhaps the private sector -- we have not done a good job reaching out in a public media way or culturally to explain ourselves. i am always encountering some many conspiracy theories that are made up stuff that the media promotes about the united states that is untrue. our response is nobody will believe it or we cannot contests it. i think we should be in there every single day. i made a point of reaching out to al jazeera. it was relentlessly negative about us. i said that is inaccurate and deeply unfair. their response was, your government never put anybody on al jazeera. i said that is going to change. you cannot expect a change unless you're not willing to get off the bench. that is our fault. we in our efforts to support democracy still are held account

and i visited president obama as he begins a second administration, and you see lacked the second, the new secretary defense has not yet arrived, it is suggested still trying to build his team and the administrators trying to get their interagency review undertaken. all of this in the midst of a readiness crisis, sort of budget induced. this is a very tenuous time. so kim jong-un has chosen his timing very well. he knows exactly what he is doing in terms of looking to work the scene. the scenes of south korean politics, chinese politics, u.s. politics, and setting the chessboard so that he now thinks he is on the offensive. so this leads me to my second point which is jong-un is unfortunately miscalculating about the dangers that will be perceived outside of korea. that is, he's not just increasing the chances of proliferation in the region and out of the region, but he is crucially increasing the chances of conflict. the security risk, in other words, is not stable, but rather into this concept of the author of black swans that risk is not in the past. risk is in the future. so if we
